Hello everyone,
This Art-n-about blog will not be updated any further because I am leaving Korea soon.
I will leave the blog up as an archive, as many of the links are a valuable resource.
The galleries and organisations already listed will continue to have new exhibitions and events.
Hope you enjoy discovering the art scene in Korea.

BECA: Bridge for Emerging Contemporary Art - global exhibition opportunities
We're attaching an update on next year's Curate This global exhibition - artists and designers are welcome as well as curators, both new and established venues, galleries, museums, organizations, publications, etc. Additional info. will be posted by 12/30 at http://www.curatethis.org
We hope you can join us!

CURATE THIS! 2010 is going global!
…on the ground AND in cyberland.
December 22, 2009 – CURATE THIS! 2010, the second installment of the CURATE THIS! exhibition series created by BECA: Bridge for Emerging Contemporary Art, is evolving from a one city-wide event location into a global arts cultural exchange event involving multiple venues located in multiple cities around the world. The global art design exhibition will take place from July 1 – December 31, 2010.
Through the exhibition of works of art design by emerging artists, designers, duos, groups and collectives around the world, The BECA Foundation aims to facilitate an experimental, cross-pollination of creative innovation and new ideas in diverse locations around the world. The title, ‘CURATE THIS!’ reflects a departure from the familiar large scale exhibition model, typically curated by a singular vision with one head curator, to an exhibition with components and related events ‘curated’ by the public and professional and independent participants residing in multiple cities around the world. The first ‘CURATE THIS!’ experiment took place in early 2008 and led artists and directors, Melissa Roberts and Kurt Schlough to begin brainstorming the expansion of the experiment to bring about greater benefits to a larger number of participants.
BECA is an acronym for Bridge for Emerging Contemporary Art and the core belief system at The BECA Foundation is that “New art new design fuels the best of what’s yet to come on this planet.” To help mix that fuel and kick start new possibilities, the expansion of the CURATE THIS! exhibition project will facilitate a broader exposure of new art, new design and new ideas through both a physical and online network of participating venues in multiple cities around the world. The aim of building the network is to create international arts cultural exchange opportunities, broaden arts education opportunities and appreciation for emerging contemporary art design, facilitate introductions and lay the foundation for future collaborations toward the realization of a progressive, meaningful and fulfilling future for everyone. Global online content delivery of exhibition events and related special projects will enable global participation by millions around the world. The BECA Foundation is pleased to welcome the participation of Helen Pheby, PhD, Curator of Yorkshire Sculpture Park, UK whose research and curatorial work spans the globe including the US and Iraq and Ellen Lupton, legendary design educator and Curator of Contemporary Design at the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Each has a unique insight which will add further depth and diversity to new CURATE THIS! 2010 exhibition components.
Upcoming participating venues in Boston, New Orleans, Miami, Denver, Los Angeles, Santa Fe and London have been the first locations to sign on. Venue participation proposals have also been submitted by exclusively online communities. Artists, designers, independent and established curators, gallery and art space directors as well as lease-holders and owners of other event and non-traditional exhibition spaces may email Melissa Roberts at mail@thebecafoundation.org for venue participation information. The BECA Foundation is building a global network to achieve a positive impact on the future of the residents of cities around the world. The formerly unimaginable, previously impossible and the creative ideas and proposals that may run counter to the current status quo are most welcome.

Winter Solstice Circle Song Night- Dec 21, Soul Underground, Hongdae
Winter Solstice Circle Song Night!
When: December 21st
8:30 pm - 10 pm
Where: Soul Underground, Hongdae
(No cover charge!)
Sing Circle Songs on the Solstice!
Come help me continue a Winter Solstice tradition from my hometown!
What's a Circle Song?
-It's a chant or round sung in a circle. We sing them at important events, celebrations, and at the turning of the seasons.
Why a Circle Song Night?
-Singing Circle Songs on the Winter Solstice is a tradition in my hometown. Soul Underground, a great cafe and live music venue, has been kind enough to open their doors (free of charge!) so that I can continue the tradition far from home.
No prior Circle Song knowledge or musical know-how is required. I will teach all the songs during the course of the evening. The songs are very short with simple, repetitive melodies. The only instrument is the human voice. Just bring yourself.
Who Am I?
-I am from a small fishing town (well, village, technically) in Maine in the US. The Circle Song tradition has been part of the region where I grew up for generations. I minored in Ethnomusicology in college and my mental library of Circle Songs from all over grew. Creating music this way is truly magical, and singing with other people, be they strangers or friends, on the longest night of the year, is always a blast.
Want More Info? Email Paula: pepsqually@gmail.com
Where Is Soul Underground?
-Soul Underground is located within one minute's walking distance from Exit 4 of Hongdae Subway Station.
You can see the Seven Springs Restaurant building when you go out of Exit 4 directly in front of you. Soul Underground is in a building right next to Seven Springs. The buildng consists of 3 stories.

BLACK SHEEP LECTURE #17, Hansung Uni, Seoul, Wed 9 Dec, 6 p.m
WELCOME TO THE BLACK SHEEP LECTURE #17
*Piotr Zamojski* Wednesday, 9 Dec, 6 p.m.*(English with Korean interpretation)
Hansung University | Tam Goo Kwan B102
Time, space and language are the main subjects of Piotr Zamojski. His materials are preexisting situations: interiors, public space, landscapes and, more recently also objects of daily use. He analyses different aspects of a given space: its former and present functions, proportions and relations to a geographic and socio-cultural context. A second step is an interpretation of reality through the means of wall-painting, sculpture and typography. Some works have a processual character: they have been transformed during a presentation time.
Zamojski works can be understood as a reflection upon the nature of reality, history, space and time as fictional fields. He is trying to follow paths of personal, ethnic and cultural identities, common fates: yearnings, fears, coincidences and errors.
Piotr Zamojski, *1963 in Poland, lives in Germany. Since 2008 visiting professor at the Sungshin Women's University in Seoul. Selected exhibitions:
Westfaelischer Kunstverein Muenster; Akiyama Gallery, Tokyo; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Santiago, Chile; Concept Space, Shibukawa, Japan; Kunsthalle Duesseldorf; Galerie Thomas Flor, Duesseldorf; Josef Albers Museum, Bottrop, Germany; Busan Biennale 2006; Suwon Art Center; TEAF 2009, Ulsan.

Opening 'Cultures Connect' - group exhibition - Insadong,Seoul, Dec 2 - 15, 2009
"Cultures Connect"
Jay Gallery & Na Gallery, Insadong (SK HUB PLAZA B-107/8) (near Jongno police station - see map below)
Opening 2009. 12. 2 Wed 7pm, exhibition running til Dec 15
Korea is rapidly developing into a multicultural society as well as becoming more integrated into the world community through trade agreements, security pacts and tourism. The years 2010-2012 have been designated Visit Korea Years. This exhibition is therefore both timely and relevant to the current climate in Korea.
The 18 artists taking part all live in Korea. They come from 7 different countries; speak different languages and have grown up in cultures very different from the one in which they now find themselves living. The group includes both young emerging artists as well as experienced internationally recognized artists. The ages of the artists span almost three generations, they originate from 7 countries spanning 4 Continents. The style of art ranges from modern to traditional and includes painting, print, video, photography and installation works.
Despite so many differences these artists have come together because they share a mutual interest in communicating with the world through their art in a spirit of multicultural co-operation.
